“First and foremost at Fleetwood Manor Apartment, children’s safety is top priority,” the letter read. “At no time should a child be alone at night, or walking in the roads or wooded areas at night.”

The letter also said that the Greenville County Police have now been informed of the situation and are now riding the property daily to make sure that no dangerous activity is going on.

In a BuzzFeed report, parents to two sons Donna and James Arnold said that their childrenconfirmed that there are indeed clowns lurking near their building.

“‘There’s clowns out there in the woods and they’re trying to get us to come out there.’ Some had chains, some had knives, and some were holding out money, saying, ‘Come here, we’ve got candy for you,’ but they wouldn’t go.”

In a Fox News report, residents also confirmed sightings of the said clowns.
